(AKA Amanda Kear) writes:Stage 9:
The eyes are done in Rowney Cryla Burnt Umber. Blue eyes just look weird on a horse miniature, so I never bother trying to do those.
More titivating on the skewbald:
Red Iron Oxide is drybrushed very carefully onto the markings. The bridle/reins are given a wash in Burnt Umber.
Piebald:
A wash of Chaos Black is done over the black markings, just to tone down the contrast between the grey and black a bit.
Stage 10:
The mane and tail are drybrushed with Titanium White. Also tarting up the bridles and other things that are irrelevant to what colour the horse is.
Skewbald:
Liquitex Portrait Pink is applied to the areas of the muzzle around the lips and nostrils. It is blended into the rest of the muzzle with thinned Titanium White.
Piebald:
The mixed Chaos Black-Neutral Grey is applied to the areas of the muzzle around the lips and nostrils. It is blended into the rest of the muzzle with thinned Titanium White and/or Chaos Black, depending on the adjacent colour of the horse's head.
Stage 11:
All finished, and awaiting varnish and/or riders.
